[hobbit] Disk Monitoring

[White, Bruce]

James,

 

There is a script available that will check that files systems on an HPUX
that are in the /etc/fstab file are mounted.  However, this will not help
you in a cluster situation.   I have not seen a hobbit script for doing a
check of a VCS cluster.  At my last job we used BMC Patrol and we wrote
custom scripts to check the health of both our VCS and Service Guard
clusters.   I am about to start a project where I will be creating 2 Service
Guard clusters in Production.   If I don't find a hobbit/BB script to
monitor their health, I will be creating one.

 

         ......Bruce

Hello All,

 

I had a recent problem with monitoring filesystems, and

I wanted some assistance.

 

We have a couple database servers using Veritas clustering.

Can anyone recommend a method for monitoring the Veritas

clustering and filesystems?

 

When the clustering went down, several partitions were unmounted.

Hobbit didn't alert us that the partitions were not available.

 

I'm curious, let's say hobbit is monitoring the filesystem (disk),

and someone unmounts a partition that is in vfstab or the filesystem

is no longer accessible, disk goes down, but the mount still shows.

Does Hobbit alert to these?

(The cluster mounts are not in the vfstab, but I just wondering

about other filesystems)

 

Thanks....James
